And it was so.

And it was so.

At last a use for that little triangle button.

... but we are with him on

He also wants free euthanasia for the over-80s

right?

Why over 80s? If I'm 79 and sick why can't I choose to end it? Or 49? Or 29?

I think voluntary euthanasia should be legal if properly controlled - I don't think simply 'being old' is a good reason for it though.

And lets hope the people of Kent don't vote for him.

Its a great thing democracy.



And on the subject of democracy what would you do if, say, the EU decided to make abortion illegal?

How would you oppose that hypothetical EU law?

If the EU voted to make abortion legal,then UKIP would vote to make it illegal because they automatically vote against everything.

[BrilloPad]

Compulsory euthanasia for UKIP candidates who spout offensive nonsense.

[doodab]

If the EU voted to make abortion legal,then UKIP wouldn't vote to make it illegal because they never turn up

FTFY

Think it's just an arbitrary number - you've had your three score and ten, plus a bit more... the costs versus economic benefit to the country is very much against - you've had you time so shuffle off this mortal coil and let the next generation take over
Presumably at 29 & 49 you still have a contribution to make

But that is the same "tell the good little worker bees what to do" mentality that the big three parties already have. Where is personal freedom of choice in that? How is it an alternative?

Making it free for all people with a quality of life they find unbearable isn't entirely a bad idea, except that of course that covers absolutely everyone who would actually want to do it. Those who find life bearable tend to soldier on.

My point is that putting an 'arbitrary number' on it is then saying 'over 80' = past their best before date.

Allowing those who are terminally ill or in severe chronic pain to take their lives (at any age) is arguably humane. Restricting it to over-80s it becomes an entirely different motive. Human life should never be about cost vs economic benefit - this is the same argument he put forward for aborting handicapped foetuses.
